As most of you probably have been informed of by now, terror struck Norway this last Friday afternoon. I wish to thank Bill and Jim and others who through various channels already have offered condolences and warm thoughts. They are much appreciated. I wish to offer some information to those not familiar with the story, and some personal thoughts in return.
